EVENING OUT WITH FRIENDS
PRIVATE SUNSET SAILING TOURS FOR SMALL GROUPS
Show Off San Diego at its Most Breathtaking.
Catch the gorgeous sunset aboard a beautiful private charter sailboat in the calm waters of the San Diego Bay. Perfect for a special night with friends and loved ones, snuggle up in the calmer evening weather and watch the sky turn into a cotton candy mix of orange and purple. With room for up to 12 guests on our bareboat charters, it’s great for larger groups. Even with four people, our private sails may be more affordable than our public offerings. With everything included, like beer, seltzers, and snacks, make a toast to a memorable evening as the San Diego skyline lights up the night.

5-STAR REVIEWS FROM OUR GUESTS

I have sailed with Sail San Diego several times and it's never a disappointment. I have sailed with both family and friends and had a wonderful experience each time. The boats are clean, crew is friendly and accommodating. It's easy to book and very organized. I HIGHLY recommend sailing with them!!

Had an amazing experience! We booked the private 2-hr sail for my family of four and our captain was a delight! He made our 3 yr old feel included and entertained as well as the rest of us! We will definitely book again next time we are in San Diego!!

I have taken a private sail boat ride with Sail San Diego nearly every year since 2018 and it is the best place for this type of outing. They tailor the type of sailing experience for your party. If you want to listen to music, they accommodate for that. If you want it to be peaceful and tranquil then they create that atmosphere.

Our group of four loved sailing with Sail San Diego. The booking was simple, the communication open and helpful, the directions were easy to follow, and everything was on time. The captain was fun and took us where ever we wanted. I would highly recommend them!
